    guest: fix warning message when machine type is changed for secure boot

Comment 4 zhoujunqin 2019-07-15 06:19:23 UTC
Then try to verify this bug with new build:
virt-manager-2.2.1-1.el8.noarch
virt-install-2.2.1-1.el8.noarch
libvirt-4.5.0-24.module+el8.1.0+3205+41ff0a42.x86_64
qemu-kvm-2.12.0-77.module+el8.1.0+3382+49219945.x86_64
python3-libvirt-4.5.0-1.module+el8+2529+a9686a4d.x86_64

Steps:
1. Install a UEFI vm

# virt-install --name test --memory 1024 --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img,size=1 --import --boot uefi --noreboot
WARNING  Changing machine type from 'pc-i440fx-rhel7.6.0' to 'q35' which is required for UEFI secure boot.
...

Result: Warning message is correct when machine type is changed for secure boot, so I move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
